10k

So I graduated couch to 5k 7 weeks ago, 6 weeks ago I did my first 5k run round Disneyland Paris, and today I finished my 10k abbey dash run this morning still can't get past my time of 7.30min/km but proud I did it finished at 72 minutes! Which is longer than I ever thought I'd be able to run!

Wow, 10k so soon after graduating C25k - I'm impressed!

Did you use a particular training plan or just increase the length and the time bit by bit as it felt right?

I would also like to know how to train for 10k from my current just graduated 5k status! Well done on a fab achievement.

That's brilliant ! doubling your distance in 7 weeks ! Can't think why the Monks at the Abbey call 10K a dash ?? But you did it in good time.

Wow very well done Sara -graduation to 10k in 7 weeks is massively impressive and way way quicker than my 2.5years, lol

[Joy57 Graduate]

That is just brilliant, well done. Don't think I'll ever get to 10k.

I just added a km a week 7 minutes extra isn't too hard once you get round to it every week so first run I'll do like the 5, second run of the week I'll do 5 1/2 3rd run I'll so 6km just did that really for the 6 weeks and it worked really well, I'd only got to 9km before today left the last km down to motivation on the day!
